The PM hosted a delegation of eight pro-EU Tory MEPs at Downing Street on Monday morning. Brussels colleagues were surprised to see the group led by Vicky Ford, the East of England MEP who has spent the past year flexing her Eurosceptic muscles, calling for a clampdown on migrants and British “jurisdiction over courts, employment law and human rights”. Ford apparently went full Europhile in front of Dave, heaping praise on his renegotiation strategy and claiming she was leading the pro-EU charge for the Tories in Brussels. A fellow MEP whispers:

“She has managed to upset everyone! MEPs who want to leave the EU are angry at her hypocrisy and pro-EU MEPs are furious that Vicky, who is renowned for her temperamental nature, is claiming to lead them!”
